A Soudanese Horse.


The animal before us is a very fair
specimen of Soudanese horse. It is
somewhat lanky, with little beauty of
line, but it is fiery eyed, and its tail and
name, being uncut, give it a somewhat
wild appearance. Soudanese horses are
generally very vicious and difficult to
manage, stations alone being used for
riding purposes. They are specially
trained for sudden forward charges, to
stop within their own length when in full
gallop, to turn with equal rapidity and
away like the wind out of harms way.
At other times the favorite mode Of pro-
gression is by making the horses left legs
simultaneously alternate with those of
the right side, a method Of travelling
which is very pleasant and easy. The
riders are fond of making their horses
prance and plunge about with fierce and
fiery action.
There is nothing which the central
Soudanese is so proud of as his horse, and
nothing to which he devotes more time
and attention than its appearance and
trappings. The head gear is almost one
mass of brass plated ornaments, little
bells and 1000 tassels and flaps of leather
in yellow, light blue, or dark red. The
beautifully plated reins would almost
hold an elephant for strength, while the
bits are perfect instruments of torture.
The lower jaw passes through a ring of
iron, which is attached to T shaped bar
lying in the mouth, and the whole ar
rangement is such as to give sufficient
leverage to break the lower jaw without
much difficulty. So powerful is the bit
that the slightest touch of the reins is
sufficient to cause the poor brute to rear
in the air, and not uncommonly fall back.

Risks That Cattlemen Run.

It is astonishing how little the people of
this country realize the extent of the de-
struction that would follow the introduce
ton of pleuro pneumonia in among the
cattle herds. Even the cattlenlen have
but slight conceptions of the consequences
that would result from the general preva-
lence of the disease. A short study of its
history would suffice to convince the most
skeptical of the crying need of protective
legislation. In France and Germany tens
of millions of dollars have been lost, and
in Russia far more, although in these
countries cattle could be isolated "a a far
greater extent than is possible Id this
country. Should it once get firm foot
hold here the results would be much what
they have been in Australia, once one of the
greatest grazing countries in the world,
Within four years the cattle were practi-
cally destroyed, and that industry, al
though it has been established to GER
tain degree, has never recovered from the
blow it then received. If congress only
appreciated the danger to which one of the
great sources of wealth of the country is
exposed, effective quarantine regulations
would at once be adopted and until this
is done, we who appreciate the risk that
all cattlemen run, live in fear and trem-
bling. Embellishments

Tn a wie.naEsr.s Establishment.


The sign stCombings made up,'' in
showcase in which was displayed an as
sortment of wigs, toupees, waves, bangs
and false arrangements of hair of every
conceivable pattern and color, caused q
reporter to ascend to the second floor of a
building in Brooklyn the other day. He
found pretty girl sitting before table
on which lay peculiar looking combs and
brushes and many httle packages OF hair.
tfWhat are combings, and how are they
made up?'' asked the scribe.
ttHave you never noticed the cardboard
receptacles, daintily trimmed with ribbon,
that ladies hang near their toilet tables?
Well, the hairs that the comb pulls out IN
dressing the hair are placed in those re-
ceiyers. When a quantity is gathered
they are brought to us or to some other
hair artist and made up into bangs,
waves or switches, that will perfectly
match the rest of the hair. We take the
combings and arrange them into orderly
punches, like the kind we buy, and then
make up as ordered. Watch how | make

The girl placed three pieces of elastic
between two supports so that they were
stretched from four to ten inches in
length. Then she took wisps of hair about

the elastics make a strip of hair eight
inches long. The girl then gave each lock
of hair a twirl with her fingers and it
curled beautifully; then the elastics were
taken off the supports. The result was q
bang of curly hair four inches long and
ready to be worn.

The 'Longshoremen's Gangs.

The stevedore usually has several fore
men in his employ. These are 'longshore-
men who work either by the hour, week
or month, at an advance of about one
third over the ordinary workmen. When
vessels are to be loaded or unloaded these
foremen start out on the street and select
with almost unvarying impartiality their
sgangs'' among the 'longshoremen always
waiting about the approaches to the docks,
frequently in most picturesque groups,
and then the liveliest Of commotion begins.
Had you been passing these good fellows
as they were waiting for work you would
have judged them a nerveless lot, but the
transformation from istless, half asleep
apparent tramps to the most nervy, agile
and skilled of laborers is an instant one.
Indeed, I have frequently seen them per-
: form positive feats in strength and light
ming like twist or jerk that gave to bale,
barrel or box as wonderful motion, course
and destination as the most wizard like

A Statue of Salmon p. Chase.

There lies in store not far from Charles
street valuable historical relic, which
would gladden. many admirers Of the late
Chief Justice Chase did they possess it.
1t is statue, heroic size, with pedestal,
of the late Salmon P. Chase, designed by
Clark Mills, the sculptor, who contracted
to furnish the government with seven
statues, made from captured cannon, and
of these this is one. Had the statue been
polished the death Of the sculptor, which
occurred shortly after its complexion,
would not have acted as bar to its de-
livery to the government. In the course
Of a business transaction this valuable
work of art found its way to its present
quarters, where it is secluded from public
observation Baltimore American.
